Has General Discussion Been Hostile to Religious Believers recently?

[Prophet 451]

262. "It's been hostile, but believers deserve it because they are inferior"

That's pretty much what we've been told as believers. It's ok to attack our faith because our faith is stupid, delusional, unreal, mentally ill. Alert on those posts for insulting us and the jury tells us to suck it up. Religion has to carry the can for anything and everything a believer does but atheism isn't a belief system so it's perfect and shiny and clean and doesn't have to answer for anything. All the theists have to answer for the savages who murdered people in Paris but atheism isn't a belief system so no atheist has to answer for Stalin locking up believers. The playing field is tilted against us. When we're insulted for our faith, it's our own fault because we could always choose to not believe (leaving aside that none of us can choose to believe or disbelieve, a flaw in Pascal's Wager that even Pascal noted). We're told to just suck up the contempt and condescension.

I'm a man of faith and be honest with you, I'm starting to feel distinctly unwelcome here. If I log onto DU, I'm expected to either suffer through the insults and double standards or shut off what is a fairly big part of my life. Back before I was able to be honest about my sexuality (I'm bi), I had to sit there and suffer the homophobic jokes and insults made around me. That's roughly similar to how it feels to be a believer on DU. But of course, we could always choose not to believe so it's our own fault. Not sure if this place is worth it anymore.

EDIT: Sorry for the rant. This shit has me feeling a little raw and you got the brunt of it, sorry for that. I'm going to stop wasting time here and go finish my assignment now.
